Local, state and federal politicians got a first-hand look last week at the meal program offered at the Anderson Senior Center in Lawrenceburg.

“We invited them to visit the center so we could show them how important the meals program is to seniors in Anderson County,” said Steve Carmichael, the center’s director.

“It was an effort throughout the state by senior centers to share information with those making budgetary decisions that would include continued support of our seniors and the services that are so desperately needed.”
